La Ribot recently came to Chicago to present the US premiere of “Laughing Hole” and the video “mariachi 17″Â as part of the IN>TIME 13 Festival . Â Appearing for six hours at the Chicago Cultural Center, “Laughing Hole” traveled to Los Angeles where it appeared at LACMA in early March. Â Prior to the “Laughing Hole” performance, La Ribot sat down with local artists Hannah Verrill and Jane Jerardi to talk about her work. Â The video interview captures excerpts of her conversation with Hannah, with Jane behind the camera.

Hannah Verrill is a performance maker currently working towards her MFA from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago.Â She was grateful for this opportunity to sit and speak with La Ribot.
